Donna Woodall

Donna Woodall is a skilled, genre-blurring singer & songwriter in the Milwaukee/WI music scene.

Donna artfully blends the musical styles of artists such as Carole King, Cassandra Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, Sting, Marvin Gaye, and Tracy Chapman with elements of traditional jazz and blues. The result? A fresh, new twist on familiar pop songs. Audiences are delighted by her eclectic song selections, cool originals, creative renditions of classic hits and jazz standards, and her bold moves into different music genres- all the while staying grounded in her jazz roots.

Donna’s writing talents first emerged on her self-produced album, “The Subject Love.” This labor of love let her flex her songwriting muscle, showcasing original material that ranges from what she affectionately calls “soulful folk” to fun “jazzy-pop.” Currently, she is penning new tunes that highlight her unique musical sound and perspective.

Sessions at McPike Park

The Sessions at McPike Park are free events that benefit 7 non-profits in the community. They each have a day to promote their programs. We funnel funds to these organizations through our raffle, auction, and profit-sharing plan. The Sessions features a fine array of local food and product vendors to nourish and delight. This event is family-friendly.

McPike Park is located in the heart of the isthmus in Madison, WI, this nearly six-acre park, formerly known at Central Park, was officially renamed in April 2018 at a dedication ceremony honoring longtime East High School principal, Milton McPike.
